The group's best-selling album at the time, …And Justice for All is the fourth studio album by Metallica. It was the band's first studio album to feature bassist Jason Newsted after the death of Cliff Burton in 1986. …And Justice for All is musically progressive, with long and complex songs, fast tempos, and few verse-chorus structures. The album is noted for its sterile production, which producer Flemming Rasmussen attributed to his absence during the mixing process. The lyrics feature themes of political and legal injustice seen through the prisms of censorship, war, and nuclear brinkmanship. The single "One" earned Metallica its first Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1990.

Speaking for the growing community of Latina feminist theologians, the editors of this volume write, "With the emergence and growth of the feminist theologies of liberation, we no longer wait for others to define or validate our experience of life and faith…. We want to express in our own words our plural ways of experiencing God and our plural ways of living our faith. And these ways have a liberative tone."
